    Organizational psychology analysis
    The founding siege psychology encoded urgency as an organizational relational norm. The pattern self-selects: people who enter the organization with elevated AR are rewarded, and their urgency is experienced as alignment rather than pathology. The COO hire is the first significant transmission event since the engagement began — an authority figure being introduced into a system that has never had distributed authority.

    Anticipated reversion events
    • COO authority displacement: founder’s relational containment function under threat.
    • Board pressure at Series B close will activate siege state across leadership team.
    • Meeting redesign may surface suppressed conflict — monitor in first 3 sessions post-deployment.
    Documented shadow processes
    ActiveAll-hands as anxiety management container
    Stated function: Cross-functional alignment, strategic updates.
    Actual function: The meeting exists to manage the founder’s anxiety about organizational coherence. Decisions are pre-made; the meeting ratifies them. Absence is experienced as a loyalty breach.
    Psychological need served: Dependency group formation — the organization must be seen gathering to confirm the founding psychology remains intact.
    MonitoringPre-meeting consensus requirement
    Stated function: Alignment before major decisions.
    Actual function: Conflict avoidance. All significant decisions are resolved in 1:1s before any formal process. The formal process records outcomes, it does not produce them.
    Psychological need served: Foreclosed territory maintenance.

    PartialCapacity Rebalancer — meeting redesign
    May 8, 2026
    Psychological function targeted: Dependency group formation and anxiety management function of all-hands meeting.
    Outcome so far: Meeting structure redesigned. Agenda ownership distributed. Founder’s pre-meeting consensus-seeking persists — untargeted as yet.

    Annotated cases — full clinical reasoning path
    Case A — Manic pattern with OPG transmission component
    Technology organization · Siege founding · 4 sessions · Updated May 24, 2026

    Instrument data

    HSS Short Form at intake: AR 78th, SR 71st, SG 34th, RC 31st. Pattern not detected at threshold. Full Form at session 2: Manic pattern CI 72.2. AR and SR confirmed primary elevations.

    When the pattern became visible

    Session 1 the pace of the conversation itself was the first signal — questions answered before they were finished. The AR elevation became legible as behavioral data before the Full Form was complete.

    What confirmed it

    Full Form CI 72.2. Session 3: SR bifurcation in real time around the COO hire. Session 4: physiological naming unprompted. Both pattern-consistent and instrument-predicted.

    OPG layer

    Critical distinction: AR elevation appears partially transmissive rather than individually generated. Second member assessed showed AR elevation within 28 days of hire — insufficient time for direct exposure. This distinction is the Paper 2 contribution.

    Intervention and what shifted

    Pacing as primary intervention introduced session 2. By session 4 client named a physiological signal unprompted — first marker of AR awareness. Structural intervention (Capacity Rebalancer) running simultaneously targeting organizational transmission pathway.

    What this case teaches

    Pattern visible in session pace before scores confirm it. AR elevation can be read behaviorally. OPG layer requires second member data. Structural and clinical interventions can run simultaneously when targets are correctly differentiated.
